• Integration with ICT Division (ICTD)
- As of July 2013, Cartographic Section has merged with ICTD.- Expected synergies:
. Better access to ICT infrastructure
. Leverage existing ICT capacity & opportunity
. More GIS-ICT integrated solutions
. Resource optimization
• Consolidation & Centralization
(Part of 2014/15 Peace Keeping Budget proposal/review)
– Review existing DFS/GIS capacity and operational requirements– Identify functions for consolidation/centralization and leverage
existing GIS Centre in UNLB/GSC- Streamlining GIS for more services to all UN field operations- Expand Service Level Agreement (SLA) in providing GIS services
to other offices/departments
New Phase of GIS in DFS

• Critical shortfall of Map & Geo-data for- Relevant briefing to support the Security Council
decision making process- Effective mission planning- Supporting UN field operations
. No base map
. Outdated and/or inappropriate scale
. Digitization of paper maps required
. Ad-hoc solutions not satisfactory
• Observations- Needs further cooperation/collaboration with
Member States on base map productions (i.e., MGCP)- Geospatial technology underutilized due to lack of
appropriate Geo-data

• UN Initiatives- Global financial constraint “do more with less”- Integration with ICT- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)- Enterprise Resource Program (ERP) - Umoja- International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS)- UN Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM)
• Trends in Operational demand (user-driven)- Complexity, Dynamic and Variability of UN operations demand:
. Real or near-real time response of spatial analysis
. Temporal geo-visualisation and geo-intelligence- Real-time information and tracking
• Trends in Technology (technology-driven)- Advanced data collection (UAVs, VHRSI, 3D LiDAR, RFID, etc.)- Publicly available data, Crowd sourcing data- Mobile technology
Vision: Geo-enabled UN Operations
